(16,245 posts)What is "common sense" about promoting charlatans like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil or Jenny McCarthy? They have done actual, measurable harm. People have DIED because of anti-vaxxers and Oprah is the godmother of the latest wave. So, please spare me how "smart" she is. She has fallen for lots of woo-woo bullshit and, as President, would be in a greater position to promote more of it, thus endangering even more millions.
What the fuck does she even know about politics, about foreign policy, about the many minefields in any of that? No one gets it right every time, but we have seen what a complete ignoramus can do.
So, no, I will not vote for her EVER. I will simply not vote and I will encourage anyone to vote third party if she is nominated.
Yes, stupid people vote. If she runs and if she wins, this country is fucking sunk as a world power.
